Help with Mods

kkokko · 04-06-2009, 01:44 PM

I have a dilemma, saving up for my apartment end of this year.. but itching to mod my g37...

I've already swaped LEDS, and bought AEs, 6000k HIDS HP, Chrome Amber Turn Signal, PIAA SparkBlue H1 Fogs, Reverse LED, Tints, GTR Overlays, Black betty grounding kit V2.

The next on my to do list...

1) Paint Grill Glossy Black but leave top bottom chrome ($150)
2) OEM Splash Guards ($300)
3) Lip Kit/Side Skirts ($$) (this will be difficult for non-sport bumper)
4) Keyhole Delete ($40)
5) Paint Stock Caliper Red ($ Not sure if I can find anyone to do this
6) Video Bypass Mod ($80)
7) Escort Passport 8500 x50 ($200)
8) Garmin GNV 53 Black Box($500)
9) Puddle Lamps ($300)
10) Hotchk Sways ($680)
11) Eibach Springs ($500)
12) SPC Camber ($320)
13) Greddy Exhaust ($1000)
14) Vossen 084 Rims/Tires ($4000)

My question is... even though I'd like to do all of those and hopefully I'll be able to... Which should I do first? I guess it's really personal preference..

I'd love the improve handling as mine is a non-sport, I think new rims are over my budget...

What do you think of these next:

1) Paint Grill Glossy Black but leave top bottom chrome ($150)
2) OEM Splash Guards ($300)

1) Eibach Springs (and possibly camber if cant get in spec)
2) Hotchks Sways
3) Greddy Exhaust

Should I bother with splash guards? will it make a diff on a BO G37? I can barely tell in pics... and dealer wants $300 installed... If I'm planning on getting a kit in the future these may be useless?

Also I don't think I'll be able to find anyone to paint my stock calipers red

I'd like to get some BBK but they are soo $$$..

Your way off on half those prices.....

Greddy $1000 NOT
Hotch. $680 NOT
Eibachs $500 NOT

They are much cheaper than that

painting the grill should be like less than 20 bucks, we did it on ChadATX's car, it was so easy... and looks amazing

Whoops I forgot to mention.. these are canadian prices for parts + install...

At least the quotes i've been getting from the shops around here..

Shipping + USD Conversion to CAD + Duty + Taxes

Conversion 1.3
Duty 1.06
Taxes 1.12

hit up andy@ hpauto. he HOOKED me up with some springs/wheels/tires

Do you guys think it's wise to get the camber kit after letting the springs settle to see if it can be put back to spec or.. will labour /reallignment be much more if i don't get the camber + eibach at the same time installed?

sways are an excellent mod for handling. i say do the handling and smaller mods first then slowly save up for the rest. for the calipers - contact mike @ www.thepowdercoater.com

What about Exhaust, I mean I love the sound of the stock one.. and feel like I would love it being louder :P just not sure if I'll get tired of the greddy as i've heard it's quite a bit louder..
